The landlord's wife called the peasant women "people like them", expressing her surprise, incomprehension and contempt. Scoring standard: 4 points in total. Write two points each, and the meaning is right. (1) Example: I choose the first sentence. "Hold tight" means to hold tightly. Used here to show that beggars are full of gratitude after hearing me call him "brother", forgetting the identity of beggars and taking "I" as their brother. I choose the second sentence, "tight" means that he feels the sympathy and respect of "me" and his heart is full of gratitude; "Pinch" shows that he cares about his identity and is worried that his dirty hands will dirty "me". This is also a kind of respect for "I". Scoring standard: 3 points in total, if the meaning is correct. (2) Example 1: I think "Swallow" is a better translation. Because "Swallowing" wrote a scene in which a peasant woman swallowed cabbage soup with great effort, which can better show her sadness after losing her child and cherish the salted cabbage soup. Example 2: I think the translation of "drink" is better. Because this sentence was written from a lady's point of view, she couldn't really understand the sadness and real life state of the peasant woman at that time, so the peasant woman in her eyes "drank" cabbage soup calmly. Scoring standard: 3 points in total, 1 opinion, 2 points for reasonable reasons. Example 1: The landlord's wife is unsympathetic, because when she saw the peasant woman who lost her son drinking cabbage soup, instead of comforting her, she accused her of being heartless. Ex. 2: The landlord's wife is sympathetic, because after learning about the unfortunate experience of the peasant woman, she took the initiative to disappoint her on the day her son was buried. Ex 3: The landlord's wife is compassionate, but she really can't enter the poor world. Because of her different status, she can't understand the behavior of peasant women drinking cabbage soup, which is understandable. Scoring standard: 4 points in total, 1 point of view, and 3 points based on the analysis of the article content. If you have other opinions, the reasons are also very good.
